I just renewed my annual pass to a pass which now includes free parking. When I park will they just swipe my magic band or do I need my new annual pass card?”

Hi Noelle,

Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us a question!

From what I understand, you’ll only get your Annual Pass card once you’ve activated your pass at any Guest Relations window, including the one at Disney Springs. You shouldn’t, however, need that card in order to park for free when you arrive at a Theme Park in order to activate your pass. Bring a printout of your purchase confirmation with you and explain to the Cast Member at the entrance that you’re planning to activate your Annual Pass that day. They should let you in to park without having to pay for parking.

Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions!
